Finally got the first of a few underwater Ned Rig videos uploaded. Hope it clears up some of the questions about why we use the Zman baits, why head shape is important, etc. Other videos will attempt to show the basic retrieves Ned describes in his articles.

One thing that should jump out is just how buoyant the Elaztech baits are. Lots of companies describe their plastics as being high floating, but too often they just drag along, or lay over, with a hook in them.

It is in HD, so adjust your youtube settings if you have trouble seeing it.

What no head pounding heavy metal background music like so many bass videos? :lol:

Thanks for posting that video, very interesting to see the action it has.

Thanks all. And yes Doug, I am a little bleary. Takes a long time to load.

One thing it shows is what happens when you overwork the bait or try to work it on a tight line. At the start when the bait is just barely inching along I was shaking slack line, albeit too quickly and more aggressively than I would on the water. Later, as the bait got closer to me, it was impossible to keep the slack in the line. The effect is pretty obvious. The bait moves along farther and faster. While the body has great action then, it would be zooming away from any fish near it.

Think I have some "deadstick and shake" video which reinforces that idea. When you just shake the slack, it will stand up and rock back and forth (front to back) and more or less remain in place. Inches along at most.
